Huoyun Xiaohuo was relieved to hear this. He was afraid his mother would blame Yun Lintian for not bringing him out of the mythical realm.
“Mother, I don’t have much time left. I used the last trace of my profound strength to leave this residual soul behind. You have to listen to what I am going to say next carefully.” Huoyun Xiaohuo’s expression became solemn.
Hearing this, Huoyun Yurou braced herself and nodded heavily. “Go on.” As someone who had an insanely high profound strength, she was naturally aware of her son’s remaining time.
“I’ve briefly checked our clan’s situation earlier. Our strength cannot be regarded as one of the nine clans anymore. However, this is not a bad thing.” Huoyun Xiaohuo turned to look at Yun Lintian and said in a deep voice. “I want everyone to follow him.”
The expressions of the Huoyun sisters changed drastically. They didn’t understand why His Highness said this. Although the Fire Cloud Rat Clan was currently weak, it wasn’t to the point they needed to follow an outsider.
Meanwhile, Huoyun Yurou’s face didn’t change in the slightest. She merely asked. “Why?”
“Back then, when I left this place with Brother Yan, we met a peerless expert who created the mythical realms….” Huoyun Xiaohuo began to explain.
Huoyun Yurou’s expression finally changed upon hearing this. She had lived for more than five thousand years, and she witnessed the birth of the mythical realms. However, she had no idea who the creator was.
“She told us that the purpose of creating the mythical realms is to wait for a chosen one to appear.” Huoyun Xiaohuo pointed at Yun Lintian and continued. “And he is the one.”
Everyone turned to look at Yun Lintian in shock. Even though they didn’t know what the so-called chosen one was for, to have someone create the mythical realms solely for him was undoubtedly something huge and beyond their comprehension. If that was the case, it was understandable why Huoyun Xiaohuo made such a suggestion. 𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian was baffled slightly. It was completely unexpected that Huoyun Xiaohuo said this. From the beginning, Yun Lintian simply wanted to deliver the token and looked at the Fire Cloud Rat Clan out of respect. He had no intention of recruiting them at all.
“I know, this is too risky, but I believe mother should have noticed his unusual talent already. Not to mention he has Lord White Tiger God followed him.” Huoyun Xiaohuo said further. “Trust me. You will never regret it. Perhaps our clan would become a true hegemony of this world and even have a chance to return to the Divine World.”
Huoyun Yurou went silent. She was aware that there was nothing wrong with her son’s words. After all, the Fire Cloud Rat Clan couldn’t be worse than this. Following Yun Lintian wasn’t a bad choice at all.
In fact, before Yun Lintian came here, she had already made a choice to exchange her life for temporary peace. That was why she decided to participate in the wedding between Pei Xiewen and Bi You.
In order to convince his mother further, Huoyun Xiaohuo suddenly pointed his finger toward her and sent a strand of memory to her. “You’ll understand when you see this, mother.”
Huoyun Yurou closed her eyes and immersed herself in her son’s memory. The scene was set in a snow forest. Huoyun Xiaohuo and Yan Qi were standing in a daze, looking at a figure covered with white clothes from head to toe. The outline of her figure showed that she was a woman.
This woman merely stood there. Her body seemed to detach from everything, as though she didn’t belong in this world. Even though she was looking at her through her son’s memory, Huoyun Yurou could perceive the unparalleled power and unique aura coming out of this peerless woman, easily making her soul tremble in fear.
“Would you take my arrangement?” The woman’s ethereal voice resounded. “Think about it carefully. This could mean the end of your life.”
Yan Qi came back to his sense and said in a heavy voice. “I am willing. Anyway, I have nothing to worry about anymore in this world.” As he finished his sentence, he glanced at his brother, Huoyun Xiaohuo, and said. “You should go back. Your Royal Mother must be worried about you right now.”
Unexpectedly, Huoyun Xiaohuo shook his head and said. “I have no face to see her again. I might as well go with you, Brother Yan.”
Yan Qi frowned. “What are you talking about? Sneaking out of the clan shouldn’t be that bad, right?”
Huoyun Xiaohuo sighed softly and explained. “Brother Yan, you also know that I don’t want to inherit the throne. I want to live a carefree life.”
Yan Qi grabbed Huoyun Xiaohuo’s shoulders and said solemnly. “Then you need to go back even more. Didn’t you hear it earlier? Her arrangement means that we wouldn’t have a chance to go anywhere, possibly for the rest of our life. How could you call it a carefree life?… Trust me, go back and talk with your mother face to face. I believe she wouldn’t be that heartless and force you to inherit the throne.”
“You don’t have to say anymore, Brother Yan. I’ve decided already.” Huoyun Xiaohuo waved his hand. He turned to the peerless woman and said. “Fairy, I am willing to accept your arrangement. However, can Fairy send this token back to my mother?”
The woman glanced at the token in Huoyun Xiaohuo’s hand and said calmly. “I cannot do it. You can wait for the person to come and give it to him.” Before Huoyun Xiaohuo could say anything further, she added. “Your clan will be safe until that day.”
Huoyun Xiaohuo hesitated for a while and put the token away. “I understand.”
The woman didn’t say anything further. She turned around and pointed her slender finger at a vacant area before her. A golden thread shot out of the tip of her finger and landed on the ground several meters away.
Rumble—
The space above the ground trembled violently before tearing apart, revealing a vast spatial vortex. In that instant, several stones nearby quickly floated into the air and formed into a giant ancient gate.
With a wave of her hand the spatial vortex quickly transformed into a white portal and stood calmly in the middle of the stone gate…. The mythical realm was created simply as that!
